Pros

Professional western MNC Significant market share Nice office

Cons

Very old/outdated systems (and employees, including management) Expats are easily paid double for the same role and are part of management’s inner circle Locals are old and treating it as a retirement home with no ambition/improvement Because of the aforementioned point, no progression, expected to just do the minimum the role requires, skills atrophy Negligible pay increment and below market salaries Antiquated HR policies such as no WFH, staff benefits not competitive either

Pros

You have the opportunity to see the direct impact of your work across different locations and interact with people from a wide range of backgrounds. The role also allows you to build strong, genuine relationships with colleagues working alongside you day to day.

Cons

There is a noticeable lack of transparency within the organization. Communication from senior team members can be inconsistent, and at times feels misaligned with their actions. Recognition and positive feedback are limited, particularly outside of established internal circles. The company’s technology and processes can be outdated and overly complex, which can hinder efficiency. Additionally, the organizational structure is quite hierarchical, and there appears to be limited initiative from leadership to drive meaningful change. The role often extends beyond typical analyst responsibilities, requiring significant emotional labor in addition to technical work.
